This camera body is not worth the effort to me. Two bodies and multiple trips to Olympus USA Service Center did nothing to resolve inconsistent AF issues, even with SHG optics. I have to admit that the combination of the E-5 and Zuiko 12-60mm f/2,8-4 was admirable, but that was the only lens of several that I owned which auto-focused consistently well.

In the end, after 10 months of anguished ownership, I divested myself of all 4/3 equipment and moved to m4/3. The E-5 was the cause of that. I had been a very happy Olympus E-1 owner prior to that. Enter the E-5 world with trepidation.

Problems:

Inconsistent AF. Rarely did PDAF even come close to what Live View CDAF could achieve.
